The Best Trader Joe's Products Of All Time

If you've got a Trader Joe's in your neighborhood, chances are it's your go-to supermarket. It's cheap, convenient, and the snacks are unbeatable. It sounds crazy, but I often stand on the checkout line for 30 minutes and then take the subway home with my groceries just so I can have my favorite TJ's products during the week.

When I sent out an office poll about people's favorite items, I quickly found I wasn't the only one who can't get enough of what that grocery store offers. So much, in fact, that I had well over 100 "favorite" products to sort through. After painstakingly whittling down the list, I present you with our top Trader Joe's picks, according to R29 staffers.

Roasted Plantain ChipsPlantains are actually a vegetable — not a banana as we may have previously assumed. But we'll still be dipping this salty-crunchy TJ's chip take in a spoonful of creamy nut butter.

Raw Almond ButterTJ's raw almond butter is the same price as its regular counterpart, but packs double the flavor.

Unsweetened Instant OatmealBecause sometimes we want breakfast to start as a blank canvas.

Seafood PaellaSeafood paella might seem like the last thing you'd ever want to buy from the frozen foods aisle, but somehow Trader Joe's pulls it off.

Sweet Onion & Bacon VinaigretteWe love our veggies, but we love them even more when they're topped with this bacon-y dressing.

Hatch Chile Mac & CheeseTrader Joe's frozen mac & cheese options are so good we've got two of them in here. Hatch chiles add a smokey heat to this delectable version.

Milk Chocolate CrispsChocolate that you can essentially eat like a potato chip? Yes.

Crispy Crunch Chocolate Chip CookiesThe only unfortunate thing about these perfectly crisp cookies is that it's really easy to eat 3/4 of the bin without even noticing.

Edamame HummusOkay, so if we're being honest, we love all of Trader Joe's hummus flavors. The three-layer hummus is genius, right? But we'd never tried edamame hummus before this product, and it's so good.

Frozen Black Bean & Cheese TaquitosAnyone else grow up on these? They are the essential after-work or after-school snack, because you can eat a couple or make a meal out of them

Spicy Chai Tea Latte MixWe're not usually fans of drinks that start as a powder, but this chai latte mix is just as good as what you would buy at your local coffee shop, except you don't have to leave the house.

Chile Spiced MangoIf we had room, we would have put all of Trader Joe's dried fruit options in this slideshow. They have every single fruit imaginable (where else can you find dried tangerines?!), but these spicy mango pieces are truly something special.

Hold The Cone Mini Ice Cream ConesPerfect for when you just want a little dessert or, you know, a bunch of little desserts.

Speculoos Crunchy Cookie ButterTrader Joe's helped start the cookie butter trend, so it only makes sense that it now carries the product in multiple flavors and forms. However, the original will always be our true favorite.

Unexpected Cheddar CheeseUnexpected is right! This cheddar tastes as if it comes from a fancy cheese shop, but at TJ's it's super-cheap.

Tarte D’AlaceTrader Joe's has the best frozen options out there, especially when it comes to apps, and this cheesy flatbread is no exception.

Frozen Tikka MasalaWe actually prefer the chicken tikka masala, but the paneer and vegan options are great, too. Not only are they delicious, but they're also so much cheaper than takeout.

Cilantro & Chive Yogurt DipWarning: Once you try this dip, there's no going back to your generic supermarket brand.

Spinach TortelliniSure, every supermarket sells a version of tortellini, but these guys are ridiculously cheap and they're ready in three minutes, which is more than we can say about 99% of our post-work meals.

Spicy, Smoky, Peach SalsaThe name of this salsa says it all, because it really is spicy, smoky, and sweet. It's much more exciting than your typical supermarket options of mild, medium, or spicy.

Gone Bananas!Trader Joe's has no shortage of bite-size treats, but these are perfect when you need something sweet at the end of a long day. Plus, at least you're getting some potassium with that chocolate!

Organic Silver Dollar PancakesPancakes are one of those foods you wouldn't think would freeze well, but once again Trader Joe's proves us wrong. Stacks on stacks on stacks, with no effort whatsoever, sounds pretty good to us.

Gummy Tummies PenguinsThese are definitely meant for kids, but who can resist an adorable gummy penguin?!

Green Olive TapenadeWe love when condiments can do triple duty as a spread, a marinade, and a dip, and this flavorful marinade does just that.

Mochi Ice CreamAll of Trader Joe's mochi flavors are great, but the fact that they made a seasonal pumpkin pie version exemplifies why TJ's is our all-time favorite grocery store.

Savory Thin Mini CrackersYes, these are just plain crackers, but somehow they are mighty tasty. You'll just have to try them and see.

Candy Cane Joe-Joe'sRegular Joe-Joe's are good and all, but these seasonal peppermint-frosting-filled cookies are even better. They're definitely a cult favorite, though, so if you see them, stock up.

Triple Ginger SnapsThese gingery cookies feel like a holiday party in your mouth.

Fruit LeatherThese make for a great snack no matter how old you are!

SpanakopitaYou really can't go wrong with cheese-and-spinach-stuffed filo dough, and these manage to stay crispy on the outside despite the fact that they're frozen.

Popcorn In A PickleYes, it sounds really weird, but if you're a fan of pickles and popcorn separately, you have to try this seemingly odd snack.

Mini Cinnamon Sugar ChurrosOne of Trader Joe's latest products has quickly become a fan favorite. These mini-churros are a perfect snack to keep stashed in your freezer for anytime you're in need of an impromptu sweet treat.
